My mother's ancestors came from the Bristol area. The earliest I have traced back is to James Jefferies who married Ruth Bryant. Their son, Samuel Jefferies was born about 1799 in Wick & Abson, Glous. His wife was called Dinah. They seemed to have moved to Siston, Glous where my great, great grandfather, Edmund James Jefferies, was born in about 1840. There were 2 daughters, Eliza, b about 1845 and Ann, b about 1841. Quite why Edmund, a market gardener, moved to the Highworth, Wilts area I haven't been able to discover. Any further info on James and Samuel would be appreciated.
